Matthew - Your piano teacher

As a piano teacher, I strive to create a supportive, engaging, and student-centered learning environment where each student feels encouraged to grow at their own pace. My teaching approach blends strong technical foundation with musical expression, ensuring that students not only play the notes correctly but also understand and feel the music they create. I emphasize core skills such as note reading, rhythm, finger technique, and music theory, while also allowing room for creativity through improvisation, ear training, and composition. I tailor each lesson to meet the unique goals, interests, and learning styles of my students—whether they’re beginners exploring their first notes or advanced players preparing for recitals and auditions. I believe that music education should be both rigorous and joyful, and I aim to foster a lifelong love of music in each student. My ultimate goal is to equip students with the confidence and skills to enjoy the piano both in and outside of the lesson studio.

My teaching methodology focuses on building a solid musical foundation while nurturing creativity and individual expression. I incorporate a blend of traditional and modern techniques, emphasizing note reading, rhythm, music theory, and proper technique from the start. I tailor lessons to meet each student's learning style, goals, and interests, whether they're working on classical pieces, pop songs, or composing their own music. I use a mix of rote learning, ear training, and visual aids to reinforce concepts and ensure understanding. I believe in consistent encouragement, positive reinforcement, and setting achievable goals to build confidence and motivation. I also integrate technology and interactive tools when appropriate to enhance engagement. Above all, I create a safe, respectful space where students are free to explore, ask questions, and grow as musicians. This well-rounded approach helps students become not only skilled pianists but also thoughtful, independent learners.
